Hot Nights in the City
Summer has arrived in New York City, and with it, the Tuesday night race series at Floyd Bennett Field. For the second race in the series temperatures were into nineties, but after taking two leader’s jerseys at last week’s race we weren’t going to miss this one.

In the final sprint, Leah and Shane went second and third, sufficient to leave Leah tied for the GC lead in the Series.
